Sculptures are emerging from the sand as Redcar launches its summer season.

A team of 10 sand artists have spent three days working through 100 tonnes of sand to create a series of impressive creations.

And hundreds of people have got involved with the fun joining in a host of weekend events as part of the Kick Off the Summer festival organised by Friends of Redcar.

And by the end of tomorrow there will be an impressive line-up of sculptures - which according to Carl Quartermain of the Friends of Redcar would be strong enough to withstand being hit by a car!

Tomorrow’s line up of events includes the completion of the sand sculptures plus beach activities including badminton and tennis plus archery. There will also be a sandcastle competition from noon to 3pm and zumba on the beach with Jo Currey at 3pm.
